The Daily Record: County’s grant rejection generates criticism

“Holistic lawyers and social workers don’t intimidate child witnesses, but work collaboratively with parents to strengthen and stabilize their families. They help inform the child welfare investigative process, not impede it.”

Emma Ketteringham, Managing Director of the Family Defense Practice, wrote a joint letter to the editor of The Daily Record responding to Monroe County’s decision to decline a $2.6 million because it included funding during the child welfare investigation. The letter was quoted in a Daily Record article detailing widespread criticism for the county’s decision.
